The name of the camp is derived from the magnificent mashatu trees, which occur throughout this immense tract of privately owned land. This camp offers a diverse wilderness experience of savannah, riverine forests, marshland, open plains and sandstone outcrops. Mashatu is also the home of no less than seven of Africa's giants:  the African elephant, the lion, giraffe, the baobab tree, the eland, the ostrich, and the kori bustard. It is fitting therefore, that some 75,000 acres / 30,000 hectares of pristine game land, be set aside for these unique, prodigious features of this exhilarating continent.  At Mashatu Game Reserve, one can explore the rugged, unspoilt African landscapes either in the comfort of open 4-wheel drive vehicles or on mountain bicycles, guided by expert rangers and experienced trackers. Historic and archaeological sites abound; notable are the Motloutse Ruins and the Pitsani Koppie sites.  The wildlife experience at Mashatu is personalised. Dedicated, experienced Tswana rangers and trackers are keen to show you their world. Radio-linked 4-wheel drive vehicles or groups of mountain bicycles set out at dawn and again at dusk in search of the diverse variety of fauna and flora which abound throughout the reserve.
